Instead of first looking for evidence, let's give pseudoscientists the benefit of the doubt. How would the world be different if these claims were true? How would the food industry deal with people who can live on air alone? How would a hospital stay be different for someone who was really was magnetic? With <em>Reductio ad absurdum</em> I want to present the real world implications of out-of-this-world claims.
